Title: 1100DS engine maintenance? Post by: greenmonster on September 29, 2021, 04:25:52 AM Well passed 50 000km's, what to look for?
Uses almost no oil, clean oil, clutch fine, no ugly sounds when starting, valve clearances stays same, belt rollers fine. Mostly ridden at 4-5000 RPM, rarely sees limiter. Manual says check clutch pack every 1200 km, really necessary? Seems not. Title: Re: 1100DS engine maintenance? Post by: Howie on September 29, 2021, 05:00:27 AM I doubt anyone checks clutch pack height every 1200 km. Never heard that before either. Anyway, based on what you say, [Dolph]
Title: Re: 1100DS engine maintenance? Post by: stopintime on September 29, 2021, 07:21:58 AM Look for 100.000km on the instruments 8) [thumbsup]
Then ask again. The MTS is very close to bomb proof Change clutch when it starts slipping. Title: Re: 1100DS engine maintenance? Post by: koko64 on September 29, 2021, 01:08:02 PM I might consider steering head bearings. A tapered roller upgrade is good instead of the cheap ball race type. Lubing the rear sss bearings is important, but I would check them when changing sprockets. Of course you probably check the wheel bearings each tyre change. Keep an eye on the side stand bolts for correct tension each month!

Ok, engine is bomb proof. 8) Title: Re: 1100DS engine maintenance? Post by: greenmonster on October 25, 2021, 06:11:49 AM How about sprag and clutch, at what mileage do you normally service them?
Title: Re: 1100DS engine maintenance? Post by: Howie on October 25, 2021, 06:43:30 AM How about sprag and clutch, at what mileage do you normally service them? They don't get serviced, they get replaced when they fail or iffy repairs can be done to save money. When you start noticing the starter disengaging before the engine starts. Often they last the life of the bike and if they do fail it tends to be a gradual failure. |
